Also without Epstein's private jet to travel on he's got to sort out other transport, and that's just a hassle.

He could ask Harry to have a word with Sir Elton John........

Plus where would he stay? There’s nowhere suitable now that Epstein’s place is gone. That’s why he stayed there last time for 4 days when he was over there to tell Epstein that he couldn’t be friends with him any more. There are no other accommodation options available in New York.

And who is he going to walk through the park with?

And who is going to massage his feet?

but is accused by the law in the USA and the Uk of NO Offence.

All the more reason for the honourable chap to do the decent thing and go to the US to help them with their enquiries...

On R4 PM they had a lawyer on discussing the options and she went down the risk to him of being prosecuted or charged or arrested in UK or USA and currently as the evidence stands there is 0% chance.
She also added there is nothing to stop him being silent about it and really by being silent he isn’t giving evidence against himself. So doing what he is is frankly the right thing to do and countless legal would give him the same advice - IF new evidences comes out which incriminates him then it changes but now silent.

Yeah, but the court of social media has judged him guilty as sin.

R4 news just reporting he is 'bewildered and angry' by suggestions he is uncooperative... says 'not approached'

Do not be surprised by the differences between the US "Prosecutor" and the system in the UK.
Trial by media is "the thing" in the USA and Prosecutors love being on camera. Note where the US chap did his "piece to camera".

I blame nobody for avoiding getting involved in the US system, it STINKS.

Nope; no surprise here.

He does not need to travel to be interviewed, he could do it by video conference.

One small ray of sunshine for HRH at least, is the fact that he won't be sweating in worry about any questions he may need to answer!!!!

[hutchst]

Whilst it was a prosecutor that we saw doing his bit to the camera, many of the media quotes are attributed to lawyers representing the victims which is another way of saying ambulance chasers in search of compensation from somebody else now that Epstein is no longer with us.

There are channels that we won't see on the telly if the FBI want to speak to him at any time in connection with any proper crimes.

I note that mayor Joe Anderson is still taking the ugly tablets, and they’re working.
I could care less if Liverpool don’t fly the flag for Andrew’s birthday, let ‘em put it up anyway, my eldest has his birthday that day, he did his bit for Queen and country, reluctantly.

Buck house have now asked the MOD to defer a militarily promotion Andrew was due to receive upon his 60th birthday later this month, seems he feels that it will be acceptable when he returns to public duties.



Dream on sunshine.

See, this is another example of his (or the Royals') bloody arrogance - we'll 'defer' his promotion until this has all blown over and then we'll bump him up another rung in his purely ceremonial status.

And I see they're still bonging Big Ben (or the recording thereof) on his birthday and still calling him His Royal Highness. I'd sign a petition to change that to Lowness.

You mean he did his part for the job he signed up for?

Was he expecting a life of free bed and board in return for doing some drill work?

It makes a mockery of military ranks when members of the royal family are 'promoted' to the highest ranks as a birthday present.

I agree. This was brought home when the last Battle of Britain ace, Wing Commander Paul Farnes, died recently. They showed footage of him in the company of Prince Charles. He was wearing a blazer with a single row of medals. Charles was in uniform, covered in gold braid, medals and other awards, looking like the leader of a tin-pot republic.

I agree on the aesthetics, but to be fair to PC, at that point, he had no choice. He's a monarchist (obvs), so he has to show all of the supposed constitutional dignity that comes with his birth and history.

(It's completely anachronistic, of course.)
